Blago Watch!

John Harris, who was Blagojevich's former chief of staff, testified at the trial. He stated that Blagojevich ...

...plotted to parlay the biggest bargaining chip he'd ever had - the authority to name President Barack Obama's replacement to the U.S. Senate - into a new life.

Harris further testified that Blagojevich had the intention of making a trade - Valerie Jarrett, to fill the seat, for a position with the administration.

Recordings expose Blagojevich as saying, "The objective is to get a good gig over there (in Washington, D.C.)." 

"I'm the governor of a $58 billion corporation," Blagojevich tells Harris on one recording, cursing. "Why can't I be ... ambassador to India?"

 Also...

Blagojevich can be heard on one recording saying he'll make a good-faith effort to fill the open seat but hastens to add sternly that, "it's not coming for free."

"It's gotta be good for the people of Illinois - and for me," he says.

Is this guy for real? He actually believes he's innocent? I can't wait for his defense. I really hope this guy goes to jail for a long time. He's part of the major problem this country has with politicians. He has no moral compass.
